Abstract:
Codeswitching occurs when multilingual speakers embed elements of more than
one language into the dominant (or Matrix) language within individual
utterances of conversation. Codeswitching in Igbo-English Bilingualism
explores the syntax of bilingual codeswitching between the Benue-Congo African
language of Igbo and English. Within the framework of Myers-Scotton's highly
influential Matrix Language Frame (MLF) model, Kelechukwu Ihemere explores the
notion of asymmetry in Igbo-English codeswitching, arguing that the two
languages do not contribute equally in the creation of mixed utterances. In
the abstract interaction between the two grammars, the Matrix language is more
activated than the Embedded language, resulting in either monolingual Igbo
discourse or discourse with an Igbo morphosyntactic frame but with English
insertions.
Using both linguistic and quantitative analyses, this book uniquely
investigates the governing principles and restrictions on bilingual clauses
and grammatical codeswitching in the context of a West African language and
English. Providing a detailed descriptive and theoretical investigation of
Igbo-English data and a deeper analysis of the MLF model, this book will be of
interest to anyone working in the fields of comparative syntax, bilingualism
and contact linguistics.
